A Study of Academic Achievement of Secondary School Students in Relation to Self-Concept

Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the impact of self-concept on academic achievement. A sample of 100 secondary school students from diverse backgrounds in the Sonipat district was selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The population was distributed equally. For measurement of self-concept, Self-Concept Inventory (SCQ) by Dr. Raj Kumar Saraswat was administered. After the analysis, the result showed a positive correlation between self-concept and academic achievement of secondary school students. It was also found that there was no significant difference between academic achievement and self-concept of boys and girls students based on gender and type of schools.
